This included ‘above all’ the speedy introduction of Premium E10 with 10 volume percent of ethanol which has been overdue for years.

“Currently, the British decarbonisation of transport is mainly based on biodiesel which, to a considerable degree, is produced from used cooking oils.
“A large part is imported from third countries, such as the People’s Republic of China where the guiding principle of waste reduction is not legally specified.

“Furthermore, the questions related to Brexit regarding customs for imports and exports to and from the United Kingdom need to be clarified immediately. The future customs regulations are of existential importance for the production site Wilton.”
